The Best Gumbo I've Ever Had! | Chef Jean-Pierre

Hello There Friends, Gumbo is one of my favorite dishes to make and of course to EAT as well! This recipe was inspired by my late friend Paul Prudhomme who taught me all about Louisiana cuisine. I am excited to be able to teach you all about this recipe and help you cook it just like Paul did! This recipe goes out to Paul. We love and miss you. ❤️

Sunshine Cuisine was my first cookbook. I still use it today, in fact I made the Ginger Thyme sauce for chicken just the other night. I was so glad I got to visit your cooking school before the pandemic and you were kind enough to autograph the book. Thank you for 30 years of being my culinary guide, Chef JP 🙂

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Wow, you may be the super fan of the channel... You are right though about his sauces. Oh man. His cook books have some exotic sauces that he hasn't yet revealed on here, like the savory ones with vanilla.

[@quenettaarceneaux5013]

@Cody Bertrand Right, no tomatoes. I'm from Lafayette and moved to New Orleans a couple of years ago. I have found some places that do cook it with tomatoes. It's called Creole Gumbo here. Chef Jean-Pierre cooked Cajun Gumbo my favorite.

I've been cooking gumbo for decades and it's never occurred to me to cut the shrimp the way you did. I will cut the shrimp that way going forward. I love your recipes and I love your channel. You're such a joy to watch and I've learned so much from you in the short time I've been following you. ❤

[@barbaraowens2299]

Same here! I devein my shrimp anyway. I can just slice and clean.

[@carolcollins5490]

Thank you for giving a shout out to Chef Paul Prudhomme. He was my paternal grandmother’s cousin. My parents knew Chef Paul very well. Also, Chef Justin Wilson was my paternal grandfather’s cousin. Emeril was Chef at my wedding, so I do appreciate the kind words given to all 3 Chefs. Interesting fact, Cajun gumbo tends to be on the soupy side & Creole gumbo is much thicker. Both are delicious, though I tend to prefer thicker gumbo since I’m from New Orleans ( but now living in Naples, FL 🌴) I liked the color of your roux Chef. My mom always made her rouxs for gumbos with clarified butter too. Thank you for your incredible culinary videos. I’ve been watching since the inception of your KZbin channel.

[@richardcorsillo9819]

What a wild world of chefs! you certainly have the southern excellence in your lineage. Cool, Carol

[@carolcollins5490]

Thanks Richard. My maternal great grandfather was the personal Chef for a merchant marine. He was able to immigrate to the U.S.A from Singapore. After moving to the states, he had a very successful restaurant until he unfortunately passed away during the great flu epidemic 100+ years ago. My grandmother was only 13 when he passed. I am fortunate to have a love for cooking handed down through generations. Chef Jean-Pierre’s passion for food, incredible recipes & wonderful culinary videos are an inspiration. I’ve watched all of his videos multiple times & they always bring me JOY. Chef Paul was one of the kindest persons around. So is Chef Emeril, who was Chef at my wedding. Hard question, which recipes from Chef Jean-Pierre’s repertoire are your top favorites? My son is visiting tomorrow & I will be busy cooking. I’m presently making roasted beef stock, Chef Jean-Pierre’s recipe of course! Sadly, during hurricane Ian, I lost everything in my freezer & refrigerator. So, I’ll be busy restocking.

[@richardcorsillo9819]

@@carolcollins5490 Wow, what a history. Your great grandfather's generation is worth making movies about from now until the end of time. They built what so many take for granted. But, yes, men like Chef JP keep it alive (his work ethic is admirable). The roasted chicken stock is unusually good and possibly medicinal. Personal favorites...hands down, the Tomato Pie recipe, but I used fresh, from the garden tomatos, so maybe in a couple months I will make again. Carmelized onyo, my wife loves his Au Poivre Steak, and we probably use his milanese technique the most... So many. Beautiful blessings to you

[@carolcollins5490]

Yes, I love all the recipes you’ve listed. Keeping carmelized onions in the freezer is a game changer for sure. The tomato pie is one of my favorites too. Using Roland brand green peppercorns for filet au poive is much easier than the previous method I was using. I now keep the green peppercorns marinating in cognac like Chef suggested. Have a wonderful year & keep cookin’ 🔥

Your passion, your style, the way you talk and laugh, it is fantastic. We became fans of your videos with my daughter. We love how you explain how to use a zester 1000 times and, even more, that thing you do with your fingers when you taste the food (specially if it's a dessert). We tried many of your recipes and loved them being creme caramel our favorite. We live in South FL and found out you closed your school at Ft Lauderdale which is 40' from our home. Big bummer. We missed it. But we enjoy your stories and dishes thanks to your channel. THANKS.

[@edfaulk2868]

Looks fantastic Chef! I think the color of that roux is plenty dark….folks need to understand also that the darker the roux, the less thickening power it has. And, the point of putting the veggies in when it gets to the perfect color is to stop the browning and lower the temperature. I’d be pretty proud to eat a bowl of your gumbo! Cheers!

[@fpointla1]

gotta have my gumbo on rice .... to soak up that delicious juice .... and a slice of French bread!!! .... Chef Prudhomme was amazing .... went to K-Paul's kitchen mid 1980's and he took us to the back ... showed us how he made Blackened Redfish

[@richardcorsillo9819]

blackened redfish sounds like the truth

[@TimDocHarper]

Lovely looking gumbo, Chef. As you always say: "It's your kitchen, make it how you want!" As a Cajun, I'm raising an eyebrow at the butter based roux --- LOL . Mommie always taught oil based roux for Gumbo; butter based for Étouffée . But our food is, and always will be, peasant food. What's on hand, what's fresh and what's cheep! Your recipe is just as valid as any other. The other thing that blew my mind was not serving it over rice. I have never seen that in my entire life. Again, I'm not the cooking police, so eat it how you wish. Just, y'know, Cajuns. No rice? Mais, Chef, I'm couldn't do dat me! 🤣 As to the color of the roux -- little light for me but still a lovely color and I have cousins who make it lighter than you. It all tastes great!

[@barbaraowens2299]

My daughter started eating it without rice when she went keto on me. I still shake my head.

[@carolcollins5490]

We Creoles eat gumbo over rice too. I did have gumbo served without rice in LaPlace by a boyfriend’s mom. She was originally from St. Martinsville. Also, her gumbo was soupy, not thick. Her gumbos were delicious. I do prefer gumbo with rice.

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Funny how food trends have gone in our country. Peasant food used to be poopoo'ed by fine restaurants. Now, they are the most sought after food in nice restaurants. Peasant food is food of the heart Just left Los Angeles. Their most popular Italian restaurant now is one that serves Italian peasant food...and they charge a TON.

[@txnavy8714]

Thanks for pointing out the no rice. However, I am going to use clarified butter the next time I make a pot of gumbo as an experiment.

[@carolcollins5490]

I'm with you, Chef J. P. Much like herbs and spices, the flavor of the roux should *NOT* overpower the other flavors. Brick red/brown is plenty dark enough for good flavor, without getting into bitterness. Two thumbs up!!! 👍👍

The Sassafras leaves come from the Sassafras albidum tree. When I was in College and was tested on Latin and common names of trees and shrubs. I remembered the Sassafras tree as the gloved poker players tree. Some of the leaves of this tree looks like left and right mittens. The albidum was the bid in a hand of poker. You also use the Sassafras root to make Root beer.

This is the real deal. In SW Louisiana , we would serve it on rice and for a treat (and fear no carb) a scoop of potato salad. I have seen stretching it by thinning the roue and cracking eggs into the pot. Now I am craving gumbo.

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Would have never thought of the potato salad pairing. Cool idea!

[@ikiruyamamoto1050]

In NOLA you only cook your gumbo for 30 minutes (after the roux stage), I highly doubt it. Gumbo flavors and spices take time to marry, and it's always better the next day.

I'm looking forward to cooking and enjoying this. I thought of Paul Prudhomme when I saw you'd posted it. I never met him, wish I had, but his kindness stands out in his videos as strongly as his extraordinary cooking. In one video, while tasting his gumbo as he cooks it, he says to the camera as he tastes, "I feel sorry for ya.." -- that we can't be tasting it with him. A portrait of consideration and civility by nature. We could use little more of that these days. Thanks, Chef.

I love flounder, blue crab, shrimp, and sausage gumbo. A fry my sausage on the side to make them a little crispy and add them in separately into a bowl. I make the roux with a dark beer and also boil the crabs in beer. The shrimp I boil with a crab boil mix. It's a lot more work, but it's delicious. Halve a crab and drape it over the edge of the bowl, once it's done. I typically use 2 parts of a cajun mix and 1 part cayenne.

Finally, a properly made roux in the Gumbo! It takes a French chef to make roux correctly. I've seen a lot of sloppy Southern chefs make some pasty brown glue and call it roux, which is sad. The flour has to cook slowly and evenly to bring out the toasted flavor. Very lovely mix of meats and seafood. I think its wise to limit the seafood so that it does not spoil fast. Merci, Chef JP! This looks hearty and very Southern.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you! 😊

[@colekter5940]

i made it today. went too fast with the roux and had to redo it. i knew the flavor wasn't right. others may have kept going, but i knew chef better. the low and slow method is definitely ideal. i could smell the flour change... and i was waaay too low. it took me an hour, but i was dedicated to that lil roux. you're so right about the french chef technique. and this one always teaches us how to understand whats happening. and the point about seafood! i stuck to his recipe and the "sprinkling" of shrimp we ended up with was perfect. easily avoided by people that dont like it and enough for those that do. nice!

[@hansfausak5692]

Thanks, Chef, for making my favorite thing to cook. RIP Paul Prudhomme. File' gumbo is my best dish. Hands down. I make a seafood or chicken andouille gumbo when I want to share my love with people by cooking for them. I have 3 caveats to add: 1- I make a roux with oil, but about half of the oil comes from cooking the sausage to render the fat out of it first. I remove the sausage after cooking and set it aside for later. I'm trying clarified butter next time! 2- I learned that to get the traditional taste most people like (around New Orleans, anyway) the roux for gumbo does not need to be darker than peanut butter. It doesn't hurt to let it go a longer, but it becomes increasingly difficult to prevent burning of the roux after the "peanut butter" stage, in my experience. And when you burn the roux? It's a bummer because you have to throw it out, wash the pot and start over. Every time I cook gumbo I set out a jar of peanut butter so I know when to stop with the roux. 3- No okra? If it's not Summertime, then I use frozen okra after I thaw it out. Mince about 2 cups of okra and cook it down on the stove until the slime is gone and okra is toasted. Stir it constantly like the roux. Add it to the gumbo after the other veggies. No one will notice the taste of the okra, but it's not as good without it. Also it helps thicken the gumbo a touch. I hope this helps people make an excellent Creole file' gumbo. The file' or sassafras leaves thicken the gumbo as well, so don't overdo it. Ayyeeee!

The Gumbo looks amazing, Chef Jean-Pierre. I love every minute of your video. I'll definitely give this a try and hope that it will turn out half as good as yours. ❤
